Gonna be awhile before I can field test this. She is in one of those 16 year old moods.
I wonder how tall was the subject in the test. If you have a link to that study I would love to read it. |
So, your daughter has no arms? If you place the bat at her toes, the end of it would be 4" from the outside edge of the plate. So, for the bat to not reach the outer edge of the plate, your daughter's arms must be less than 4" long. Hell, I'd be moody, too.
